Back to the Gym

I like to keep fit by visiting the gym regularly but recently I haven't been able to do this for various reasons. Up until my recent holiday to Thailand in December I was doing a lot of 'spinning' classes. For those of you who don't know, 'spinning' is an intense cardiovascular workout which involves cycling to music at different paces which routines are selected by the teacher. This really is a good, intense workout and I really enjoy it. However, going on holiday and then Christmas and New Year celebrations along with having a cold it has been difficult to keep the consistency of my workouts. Today I made back to the gym and did a nice long run on the treadmill. During the summer I was running a lot and this is something I want to get back into once the warmer weather arrives. Now I want to continue with a mix of the spinning classes and running. If I can do this I can hopefully achieve my goal of running a marathon this year.
